Film | Rear Window (1954) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, Starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly


A recuperating news photographer who has been confined to a wheelchair after an accident spends his days watching his neighbors through a telephoto lens and binoculars. While spying one day, he believes he has witnessed a murder. Director: Alfred Hitchcock Cast: James Stewart, Grace Kelly, Wendell Corey, Thelma Ritter, Raymond Burr Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker who is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of cinema. In a career spanning six decades, he directed over 50 feature films, many of which are still widely watched and studied today. Known as the "Master of Suspense," he became as well known as any of his actors thanks to his many interviews, his cameo roles in most of his films, and his hosting and producing the television anthology Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955-65). His films garnered 46 Academy Award nominations, including six wins, although he never won the award for Best Director despite five nominations. James Stewart was an American actor known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona. Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality, which he portrayed both on and off the screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid-twentieth century. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third on its list of the greatest American male actors. He received numerous honors including the AFI Life Achievement Award in 1980, the Kennedy Center Honor in 1983, as well as the Academy Honorary Award and Presidential Medal of Freedom, both in 1985. Grace Kelly, also known as Grace of Monaco, was an American actress and Princess of Monaco as the wife of Prince Rainier III from their marriage on April 18, 1956, until her death in 1982. Prior to her marriage, she starred in several significant films in the early to mid-1950s. She received an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards and was ranked 13th on the American Film Institute's 25 Greatest Female Stars list.

Book Discussion | Zainab’s Traffic: Moving Saints, Selves, and Others Across Borders


What is the value—religious, political, economic, or altogether social—of getting on a bus in Tehran to embark on an eight-hundred-mile journey across two international borders to the Sayyida Zainab shrine outside Damascus? Under what material conditions can such values be established, reassessed, or transgressed, and by whom? Emrah Yildiz's book provides answers to these questions alongside the socially embedded—and spatially generative—encounters of ritual, mobility, desire, genealogy, and patronage along the route.

Film | Rebel Without a Cause (1955) with James Dean


Troublemaker teen Jim Stark moves to a new town for a clean slate, but being the new kid creates its own set of problems. Jim falls for Judy, a girl in his new town, and forms a friendship with Plato, a disturbed classmate. But neighborhood bully Buzz is Judy's boyfriend, and when Buzz violently confronts Jim, challenging him to a drag race, Jim finds himself in a world of troubles. Director: Nicholas Ray Cast: Natalie Wood, James Dean, Sal Mineo, Jim Backus, Ann Doran, Corey Allen, Wiliam Hopper, Dennis Hopper James Dean was an American actor who is remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as shown in his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause. The other two films that defined his stardom were East of Eden (1955) and Giant (1956). After his death in a car crash in 1955, Dean became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his role in East of Eden. Upon receiving a second nomination for his role in Giant the following year, Dean became the only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood in AFI's "100 Years...100 Stars" list.

Discussion | Publicity and the Politics of the Global Present Roundtable


What are media doing to our politics today? Who is and who ought to be the subject of publicity is itself anything but uncontested. Today we witness the widespread fragmentation of shared understandings, the expansion of surveillance and the weaponization of publicity for private ends. In social formations that are being reconstituted as emergent societies of metadata, what theoretical and political pathways can we craft for attempts at popular sovereignty? What strategies of mediation and dismediation predominate, and how are these being countered?

Book Discussion | Uncanny Creatures: Doll Thinking in Modern German Culture


Christophe Kone's book explores how an unusual interest in human-like figures continues a long tradition of thought devoted to conceptualizing “things,” from Immanuel Kant’s theory of the thing-in-itself to Martin Heidegger’s lecture on the thing, and Eduard Mörike or Rainer Maria Rilke’s thing-poems. Because dolls occupy a liminal space—not quite things and more than mere objects—they appear as uncanny creatures which have held a fascination for writers, thinkers, and artists alike. Uncanny Creatures moves past the Freudian discourse of fetishism to propose a new reading of doll artifacts in German culture centered on their ability to evoke a feeling of uncertainty and unsettlement in the viewer.

Discussion | Photography from the Golden Age of Broadway


From the 1950s through the 1970s, the studio of Friedman-Abeles was among the most prolific photographers of Broadway theater. Over the last two decades, many of their photos have been digitized, including, in the past three years, almost all of their color slides. Fans familiar with cast recordings and movie versions can now see (or remember) what the original productions of the so-called golden age of Broadway musical theater looked like on stage. In this panel, long-time industry veteran Ted Chapin will interview a group of individuals with special connections to these photographs and the shows they documented. Registration required.

Book Discussion | The Yiddish Supernatural on Screen: Dybbuks, Demons and Haunted Jewish Pasts (online)


As a linguistic carrier of a thousand years of European Jewish civilization, the Yiddish language is closely tied to immigrant pasts and sites of Holocaust memory. Rebecca Margolis's book explores how translated and subtitled Yiddish dialogue reimagines Jewish lore and tells new stories, where the supernatural looms over the narrative. The book traces the transformation of the figure of the dybbuk—a soul of the dead possessing the living—from folklore to 1930s Polish Yiddish cinema and on to global contemporary media.

Concert | Northwest European Brass Band Tradition with a Twist


Taking Belgian whimsy to a logical, irresistible extreme, the Flat Eearth Society straddles the line between multi-color surrealism and savvy skill. Bandleader Peter Vermeersch and pianist Peter Vandenberghe have shaped their 15-piece orchestra into one of the unique bands of its kind. While Flat Earth Society's compositions and arrangements betray 20th century traditions--from jazz to rock, exotica and contemporary music--they embody a decidedly forward-looking 21st century spirit.
